I Don't Even Want to Talk About It!!!

Today is the big Reveal for Fit Friday...And, yes, it is gonna be big. As in, I still am! This should not come as a surprise to any of you faithful Fit Friday-ers, I have struggled every step of the way! At my best, I had lost about 6 pounds, then I gained them back, then I lost 2. If you combine all those...that is an 8 pound loss!!! Pretty good. But if you look at the actual result, I have lost a mere two pounds. :(

Now, I could give a lot of excuses here, the holidays, a very sick baby, a husband who was NOT doing Fit Friday and was off work until Jan. 5. But the truth is, I ate too much junk, didn't exercise enough and became unreasonably addicted to Facebook, spending an inordinate amount of time sitting in front of a computer reconnecting with long lost friends.

I am back on the wagon now, so while I will probably not be the grand prize winner...I definitely see some good benefits. I am back to my regularly scheduled exercise agenda and I am now the proud owner of a Wiifit, so I am pretty faithfully exercising and now that most of the holiday goodies are gone, I am doing better on my diet.

Even better, Tigerfan has seen fit to start losing with me, so we are going to invest in a food scale and work together. He, by the way, has lost 4 pounds...yes, 4! How unfair is that, he has been trying for like a week! Ugh.

Anyway, I was going to bail out of the picture out of utter humiliation. But Missy our generous host did it, so at the last minute this morning, I made Tigerfan snap a picture and after a freakishly long time trying to figure out how to get a picture from my camera to my computer, I decided to own up. Please understand how much I love ya'll. This is an "untouched up" photo. I have on no make-up (I never even look at myself with no makeup) and I just finished walking on the treadmill...I promise, I will NEVER subject you to such horror again!

I really have no dignity left!

So, hope ya'll had more success...although I totally wanted to win and I hope to see you back here soon...hopefully seeing a slimmer, trimmer, healthier me!

alright....quit your complaining. no seriously cuz you look WAY better than me at the moment. that picture...you gotta be kidding, you should not be discouraged at all. ya want me to post one....oooo girl! then we'll see who's scary!

i'm just hoping to lose a little so i can eat all the goodies come valentine's day! sheeesh. my hubby and i had one of those talks last night. it IS incredibly hard being the only one in the family trying to watch what you eat. so he and i are on the same page as you guys. best of luck to us all! ☺

I think that you did great! I am glad you tried! I never diet at the holidays! NEVER! I am getting up everyday and exercising now. I think if you keep with it now that the holidays are over you will see the results you wanted!

You can do it! Stay strong! I'm trying hard this year too. I have a good workout regime...but being sick hasn't helped this week! I plan on doing a mini-mini-triathalon with my hubby in April...that aught to keep me motivated!Good luck! Can't wait to hear about your progess!
